‘‘Proactively speaking, the reasoning for the operation is to detect registration and licensing offences to ensure compliance in relation to having the appropriate licence and rego at the time,’’ Seymour Highway Patrol Acting Senior Sergeant David Gillespie said.

‘‘Seymour has been very active with it, and it’s generally set up in locations of high traffic.’’

More of these operations — which automatically flag any vehicles that have committed offences — are planned for the local area in the coming months.
